Hello all. Does anyone have any suggestions for making centos cloud images that can automatically repartition the root device to resize the filesystem? All the Ubuntu UEC images do this, so using the same image, you can launch cloud instances of a variety of flavors and the VM instance will repartition the root disk and resize the fs. The Ubuntu images utilize scripts in the initramfs dpkg that handle th...

...D I had at hand - a Slackware 11.0 install CD - and launched cdfdisk /dev/hda. cfdisk informed me that there was even no partition table. So much for reformatting. cfdisk only shows me 120 GB of free space. Any way to retrive data on this hard drive? Some magic live distribution to read data on repartitioned / reformatted hard drives? any suggestions? thanks, Niki

I used Hiren Boot CD (Some tool on it) to create 8 partitions for Windows XP and CentOS 6. Now, CentOS6 Disk Utility reports for first partition: "Warning: The partition is misaligned by 512 bytes. This may result in very poor performances. Repartitioning is suggested.", and similar warnings almost all other partitions. Since I already have both Windows (NTFS) and CentOS 6 installed, I was wondering is there any easy way of re-alligning them, maybe via parted? Can someone write short to-the-point howto for repartitioning ext4 partitions...

On my system, I have the wine prefix installed in the default location (/home/username/.wine). However, I goofed when I was installing linux, and my home partition is very small compared to the root partition. I tried repartitioning it with a livecd, but it said that the volume was "locked" or something like that. Anyways, I only have about 2 gigs of space left on my home partition, and I need 3 gigs of space so that I can install Fable. How do I move the WINE prefix to a different location, such as /opt/wine?

Dear Sir/s, As I have mentioned in my previous email, is there a way to recover or bring back to life a crashed Centos OS after doing a Hard Driver repartition or resizing? Thanks. Regards, CHRIS

Hello, Usually when i''ve a hole to poke through firewalls, i have many hosts to update : workstation firewall, lan firewall, the other lan firewall, and the server behind the last firewall. all of them are managed with shorewall... Is there a smart way to update them all at once ? What you guys do on your firewalls ? thanks. -- xavier

greetings. centos 6.7 [current] 'disk utility' has started showing message; WARNING: The partition is misaligned by 2560 bytes. This may result in very poor performance.

I''ve got knee deep into learning how to use Opensolaris and zfs, and I see now that my goal of home zfs server may have been better served if I had partitioned the install disk leaving some of the 60GB to be added to a zpool. First, how much space does a working OS need. I don''t mean bare minimum but to be comfortable and have some growing room (on the install disk)?

...drive is ever plugged into a Windows system; and a second partition which is the boot partition containing the live image produced by the Yocto build. If I use isohybrid, it will overwrite everything. Once I've done this, would it be possible to manually extract the boot partition with dd, then repartition the device the way I need it, and write the boot partition data back to the second partition, and have it still work? If so, a third question: If I do a new build, can I replace the ROOTFS.IMG file in that second partition with the xxx.rootfs.ext3 file created by the build, without having to go th...

...ownloaded codeweavers-wine-20011108, and installed it on a Red Hat 6.1 linux box. It won't launch any programs, however, and returns an error message that says it needs a "true Windows partition mounted under Linux" or an "empty Windows directory". Does this mean I need to repartition the hard drive? Thanks, again, Roy

...where case sensitivity (or rather, HFS+'s semi-lack thereof) causes problems. Specifically, it seems impossible to successfully back up my Linux box's /usr/share/terminfo, as it contains directories that differ ONLY in case (e.g., /usr/share/terminfo/X and /usr/share/terminfo/x). Short of repartitioning my hard drive and making a UFS partition, is there any workaround anyone has come across? -- Daniel Drucker / dmd@3e.org

...Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdg2 401,625 1,952,491,904 1,952,090,280 fd Linux raid autodetect That can't work as these are two partitions meant to form /dev/md2 and need to be the same size. - Also, 401625 is not 8 sector aligned. So it's a double whammy and since it has to be repartitioned anyway you might as well fix the alignment also. First off fail+remove hdg2 (you need to confirm I've got the devices and commands right here): mdadm --manage /dev/md2 -f /dev/hdg2 -r /dev/hdg2 mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/hdg2 Using fdisk delete hdg2, then make a new primary partition (par...

...know I can use GELI in FreeBSD 6 - as I understand, it performs the encryption at the partition level (the whole partition is encrypted). I'd like to be able to simply unmount my 'secure volume', and be able to back it up as a whole, or move it to another computer without having to repartition the destination. I think GELI wouldn't be good for this. I think I've read somewhere that you could use openssl to generate an encrypted volume and then mount it. I searched for a while and can't find any reference to this. Does anyone know how to do this with openssl, OR any other...

Is there a method to reboot a memdisk (floppy) image? I'm working on a DOS-based installation floppy that needs to repartition the hard disk prior to proceeding. DOS will only recognize the updated partition table after a reboot, but I'd like to be able to save information to the currently loaded memdisk floppy disk and simply reboot the image. Possible? I haven't had any luck with pboot, loadlin (for reasons di...

This is directly equivalent to repartitioning and installing CentOS alongside Windows. how many modern cars have DIN mount stereos anymore? almost all have some weird custom shaped dashboard specific stereo insert. sure, you can get DIN adapters for most cars, for instance I installed one in my daughter's 2004 Camry. then there...

There are two basic styles, as a whole disk image with partition table or as a partition image. If you use partition-style and set the...
